### Troubleshooting Column Placement

Collisions

Problem: PC-DMIS can't place the specified column because there is a collision with another column in the same fixture. If you continue past the warning message, you will be able to graphically see which columns are colliding on the main PC-DMIS graphics window.

Resolution: You need to change the location at which the fixture is held, or change the configuration of the module so that the column is no longer in a collision situation.

Out of Machine Volume

Problem: The fixture will be placed outside of the usable fixture volume. Generally, this means that if the fixture were executed, a portion of it would be placed off of the CMM plate, generate an error during execution, or damage one of the columns or the machine.

Resolution: Change the offsets associated with this fixture. To do this, go to the Machine Orientation area on the Fixture Points tab and change the X offset and/or Y offset.
